The Big Jasinski!

I figured you could all use a break from the tips and tricks my colleagues have been posting for the past few days! At one time, the Expression team was fortunate to have incredibly talented artist (illustrator, musician) Aaron Jasinski on board as a product designer. Among his contributions were the style guides which define the visual specifications of each part of the products’ UI, the design of the Welcome Screen, teaming up with feature Program Managers on UI and user experience design, looking into the future of the Expression products, and generally making his office a cool and ambient place to be. To emphasize the last point, here are the shots of his whiteboard:

Crazy! I have admired Aaron’s works for the past couple years now after seeing a reference to Aaron on Adam Nathan’s blog. His whimsical painting style reminds me of childhood again. Someday when my son is old enough to appreciate it I will get a Jasinski painting for him.
